oie does not seem to be’any other family of plants that gives us the same great 
mass of color as the Azaleas. While there are several different families of these 
colorful flowers, all of them, given the necessary sour soil required, are comparatively 
easy to grow in their climatic zones. It pays to prepare the soil thoroughly before 
planting Azaleas. 
If you live in a limestone section it is absolutely necessary to prepare the soil, but 
if you live in a sour-soil country very little preparation is necessary. In a limestone 
country, several feet of soil should be removed and replaced with a mixture of leaf- 
mold, manure, and acid loam. Of course, soil can be made sour by the use of alumi- 
num sulphate. It isa safe, reliable material for adding acid to the soil, and if you wish 
to prepare your ground in this manner use one-fourth to one-half pound to a square 
yard, worked well into the top-soil. Then, when setting plants under these condi- 
tions, at least a pint of the chemical should be added to each wheelbarrow load of 
soil. A dressing each year of leaf-mold is an excellent food for Azaleas but they will 
appreciate further feeding. Cottonseed meét is a fine fertilizer. Cow-manure is also 
a good fertilizer. In using the latter it is well to add a small amount of aluminum 
sulphate to be sure that the manure is acid enough.

When they are happy, Azaleas increase in beauty from year to year and can be 
considered very permanent plants. 
We grow several groups of these fine plants and list on the two following pages 
a considerable number. We have specimen plants of most of these varieties, prices 
of which will be furnished on request. 
We have also many other varieties of Azaleas in too small quantities to list, so if 
you do not find what you are looking for here, please write us. We may be able to 
supply your wants.
